>Dear All,
>
>a Drupal-based site has finally been put up, very basic-yet-functional but
>with lots of room for, well, development. So please check it out at
>http://www.incommunicado.info.
>
>Right now, the setup is very basic: once you register, you can comment or
>add to your own blog. Via a simple drop-down menu, each blog entry has to be
>attributed to one of the topic areas so it can be included in the
>appropriate listing. As of now, these are: ICT for Development, WSIS, NGOs
>and Civil Society, ICT and Environment, and Post-Development as well as
>Calls & Events (these go back to the original incommunicado-call, see site
>for brief descriptions).
>
>The search function is not yet available but will be soon, same with RSS
>feeds. Please suggest sites whose feeds you think should be available from
>the incom site.
>
>I started a blog in part to test the site, not to swamp you with content.
>But these are the kinds of references I would have included in an email
>digest, and instead of sending out such a digest, I will simply continue to
>add to
>the  blog. I hope that you will not only find it useful but share
>some of your own research, thoughts, and writing as well.
>
>A site like this is,
>after all, also an attempt to implement ideas of a
>research commons or a collective, open editorial process in a way that is
>both practical and open to change. Incommunicado is a very very modest
>project, but at a time when everyone
>worries about expanding IPR regimes and
>the 'illegal' sharing of content, it seems all the more important to me to
>contribute to an emerging commons-based research infrastructure.
